The anticipation! It’s too much!

We fade up on…

…the North Pole! Off to a great start.

…not that… they had budget to animate any of its residents, but such is life.

It’s the ‘70s. TVs are small.

Santa’s wavin’ down to everyone. All the reindeer, and elves, and–

Hey! I remember those guys from last year’s SDM special!

Glad to see they weren’t fired after The Year Without A Santa Claus.

…and… there’s a donkey, too, I guess.

Well, I’m sure this won’t figure into the story at–

Huh. No, the donkey’s talking to us directly now.

…

The donkey… is the narrator.

Well, not the most Christmasy thing, but I’m flexible!

He informs us that of course Santa needs a donkey to lug toys around…

…plow his driveway… that sort of thing.

Hopefully it doesn’t stretch out to the nearest settlement, because apparently that’s around 650 miles.

Yessir, if I’m honest, the start of this special is downright donkey-heavy thus far. 

We learn the donkey at the nativity scene isn’t accurate… we’re told–

The donkey is singing.

I repeat: the donkey is now singing. 

Christmas. Donkeys. 

Donkeys. Christmas.

…of course. 

Suddenly it all adds up.

What else could it be, besides everyone’s favorite classic animated Christmas special…

…1977′s Nestor, The Long-Eared Christmas Donkey.

Because yes. 

Yes, this is a completely real thing that I did not make up.

Grab the eggnog, folks. It’s about to get Rankin-Bassy up in this place.

Elliana, tu primera Navidad mi hijita Será perfecta, sí te prometo, como tus ojos

and a tentative reading of the second verse is:

Elliana, [...] y para siempre La gente va y viene, pero [...] El mejor regalo que he recibido es ser tu madre
